Unusual Whites



Martin Codax Albarino
Spain -
The albarino grape is light bodied with high acidity and features aromatics on par with Viognier and Gerwurztraminer. This wine had lemon juice & lime aromas. Flavors begin with fresh grass and lemongrass and close with a long, lingering citrus finish. Clean and crisp. Great with sushi. 3.5/5


Vitiano Falesco Verdicchio Vermentino 2008
Umbria, Italy - $11
Grape varietals verdicchio (high acid, grassy) and vermentino (crisp acidity, minerality, low alcohol, good richness). Green apple, lime, herb and floral aromas. Fresh, crisp & vibrant wine. Lots of Pinot Grigio flavors. Green apple and peach flavors follow sparkling acidity. Light golden color. Pairs well with salads. 3/5
